My son and I used this as the entrance music for my husband's funeral on Friday 14/01/2022; it's been the favourite film of mine, my husbands and my sons for many many years, excellent film, excellent cast, excellent soundtrack. We miss you Dean x x x

This is so beautiful, and what a send off! To be surrounded with love is so important, and he was so lucky to have you in his world.

Remember watching this movie at around 13, Im a big movie nerd but this alwayz has a place in my my movies hart. This song is 1 that will always be with me ( if you can understand that ) I struggled with school and its followed me into adulthood, listening to this track almost 25 years later still makes me hope. Deeply sorry for your loss, my on and off girlfriend pasted... 3 years ago and I find Im still trying to find some sort of life after. Hope you have.

[@wigzme2717]

So sorry for your loss!

[@stephensnow6174]

Sorry for your loss ❤️

[@garethmaddieson8251]

The "Go on" from Les to Ray is so heartwarming a (spoilers) willingness to let this song he's been so protective of be sung after 2 decades. But then Ray allowing Les to sing it well it's been 25 years and it still brings tears to my eyes

[@Frankspencer2]

Underrated film. One of my favourites of all time

Watched it often, amazing film.

Theres one big problem with this film.... it ends. i wish it was longer. easily a top five film for me, ive been watching it again, its one of those that once i start watching it i'll watch it every night for at least a week.

I watched the film today for maybe the 100th time and cried from start to finish. It's the greatest musical film of all time and the stars are just amazing. They couldn't have picked better actors to play the parts.

[@annesimonot5148]

It truly is a great little film! One of my favourites and the cast is indeed 🔥.

[@violinoscar]

As a musician, one of the many who gave his life to the craft and never made it, this movie filled me with the sadness of what might have been. The musical scenes and scenarios are very real. Especially the gig in Holland where the band tanked. They had the wrong audience, a bunch of kids, and were almost laughed off the stage. Personally, I have had my band thrown off the stage before we even got through the first song. Not because we were bad but because the bass player was too stoned to play. I have been booed off the stage. I have had gigs where they didn't pay me. I have had expensive gear stolen. Had someone turn off the power to the stage mid set. Ah, the joys of Rock n' Roll . . . still I chased it. Now I am 57 and only gig occasionally. I just watched this movie for the 2nd time and it made me a little melancholy, but at the same time I had to smile. This is one great movie.

[@andrewbillowsatmtatravel5880]

This movie is just so underrated....an amazing sound track. The CD version of The Flame Still Burns is one of the greatest songs ever recorded. I get chills everytime I play it. Bill Nighy is GOLD !!!

[@themarkallyn]

It's a brilliant movie! And what a cast! Jimmy sounded great. This song IS an epic Mick Jones penned anthem.

[@kingsfleet21]

Why Bill Nighy is not Sir Bill i will never know after an amazing career.

[@eily_b]

I'M NOT FIFTY! 🎂

[@podz54]

I get chills, too and I am Close to tears because it was the very best time for people of my age

[@ResidentBigEvil]

Bill nighy is a born rockstar, if he hadn't been an actor he would've been an awesome frontman

[@MadLathrop]

I must have watched this movie about 30, 40 times, and I still bawl like a baby over this scene. One of my top ten favourites.

Im norwegian, and I watch it every year. Just like Big Lebowski.

[@CW-ke8rk]

Watched this movie when it first came out. Watched it several times since. My dad and brother died in 2011 within the space of two weeks to cancer. Both were buried together. When I would go to their gravestone I would talk to them and leave it with “the flame still burns” as I walked away. Gets to me every time. My mum died in February of this year, was cremated and ashes buried just above them in the same place. The flame still burns mum. Love you and miss you ❤

[@hellsbunniestv584]

Love to you and your family!

[@karmicselling4252]

Keep the flame burning. I reckon you will see them again when the time is right! Cheers!

[@Zoppo55]

Best rockmovie ever, not only cause of the flame still burns, 'cause the movie feels authentic! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@martinrussellhughes2963]

One of the best films ever made, I have the DVD but noticed it was on Prime so had a reason to watch it just because it was there. I must have watched it a couple of dozen times and still laugh out loud. Excellent cast brilliant music. I’m off to watch it right now 😂

[@Tylerbag]

This was played at my dads funeral March 2013. I first discoved this whilst I was in a band between the ages of 13-15. I showed it to my Dad and ever since watching it on VHS, we loved it an never tired from watching it together, laughing all the way through an welling up at the end. What a great film, the best era of music for sure. Something that'll stay with me for the rest of my days. Love you Dad R.I.P.

[@Actingskint]

The older you grow the more you get to understand the depth in the words you first heard with young ears.The blackest of comedy has tragedy at its heart & you feel a desperate need to see everybody reach their goal. Laughing at the scenes despite the twists of fate that conspire to frustrate the main characters . Theres a little of all our lives played out in this film which is why it resonates to much .That combined with some fine cameos and decent soundtrack . Last scene is very touching and poignant

[@chrisfisher6529]

100% agree my uncle introduced this film to me when I was just coming into my teens. I thought it was funny and liked the music. I watched it again the other day, pushing 30 now, this film has a lot more depth and significance to it than I could understand first time round. And this scene perfectly encapsulates exactly what you said

[@susankirkland3852]

Yes, it brings back how amazing the seventees were

[@thomasstone7174]

Shit, did you ever move on to reviewing full time? No joke your words gave me goosebumps x

[@markperrett1904]

For anyone that's ever played in a band at any level - Stephen Rea's expressions 2:28-2:31 says it all really!

[@peterjennings2833]

One of the greatest film endings ever! Superb film all round, if you haven't seen it, do so you won't be disappointed!

[@leejames8595]

Jimmy Nail, one of the most underrated voices in the music industry. Any film that has Jimmy, Tim Spall, Bill Nighy & Billy Connolly in has to be great, and it is.

Growing up, this song alone helped my panic attacks and helped me with my depressive episodes. This movie shows you the power of love and coming together no matter what. The music is something rare to find now.

[@zaralou85zl]

Still my favourite film ever! All these years later . After all this time the flame still burns, love ya man ......

[@matthewburrows4359]

Why is this not out on Blu Ray? Simply the best film about a Rock Band ever.

[@matthewburrows4359]

I think its even on that. Crazy at least is the 2nd best mate. I do love Tap.

[@ns2110theonly]

d d actually Still Crazy is way better

[@ns2110theonly]

hJYIRI GKK Well, they’re different; spinal tap was a slapstick comedy and this is more light comedy-drama. But in terms of rock mockumentaries I think this has more heart and soul more character depth better better characters spinal tap is just silly & funny but more like an hour and a half SNL sketch. I guess they’re different it’s like comparing apples and oranges. For laughs maybe spinal tap but for heart soul and story - still crazy.

[@CW-ke8rk]

It’s criminal that this movie didn’t make it big in the US. They would’ve loved this if they had known about it

[@matthewburrows4359]

@@CW-ke8rk The horror Director Mick Garris thinks its the best film about a rock band ever...I agree. He should know he was in a band in the 70's

[@lucyorr5689]

I love this film. First watched it years ago with my dad when i was still a kid and it's one of my all time favourites. The words in this song meant a lot then but even more so now. This song was played at my dad's funeral when he passed, it moved me years ago and now it has so much more meaning ❤

[@CW-ke8rk]

This movie is incredible. I watched it when It first came out and watched it countless times since. When I talk to my dad, mum and brother at their gravestone. I always say to them “the flame still burns” ❤

Watched the film again last night. Watched this clip again and tears to my eyes again! Everyone is great in this, but soft spots for Bruce Robinson and Jimmy Nail. Great stuff all round.

[@euanelliott3613]

The true portrait of every band who ever loved playing music together despite all the conflicts it brings. I'm a rock singer too, and just like in this film our bassist hates my guts. Hello Rik, good luck to you.

I live a life that's surreal Where all that I feel I am learning Oh life, has been turned on the lathe Reshaped with a flame that's still burning And in time, it's all a sweet mystery When you shake the trees of temptation Yeah and I, I know the fear and the cost Of a paradise lost in frustration And the flame still burns It's there in my soul for that unfinished goal And the flame still burns From a glimmer back then It lights up again in my life In my life, yeah I, I want my thoughts to be heard The unspoken words of my wisdom Today, as the light starts to flow Tomorrow who knows who will listen But my life has no language in love No word from above is appearing Oh the time, in time there's a fire that's stoked With a reason of hope and believing And the flame still burns It's there in my soul for that unfinished goal And the flame still burns From a glimmer back then It lights up again in my life In my life, yeah Keep rolling keep that flame still burning Keep on rolling while the world keeps turning Yeah, keep a'rolling Yeah, keep a'rolling, yeah And the flame still burns It's there in my soul for that unfinished goal And the flame still burns From a glimmer back then It lights up again in my life In my life, yeah

[@ZacandOllie]

Just finished reading Jimmy's book a Northern soul, and he says this is a great little film........he isn't wrong, such a shame it didn't get the reception it deserved. One of my all time favourites. Jimmy's vocals on this are out of this world 🌎.

This was a great film and not very well known, written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. I think Chris Difford from Squeeze helped to co write this song. The guy who comes on at the end to play lead guitar is Bruce Robinson who wrote and directed "Withnail and I" a cult film of tremendous quality.

[@theonlywestwind6633]

Do not know why so many people have never seen this movie. One of my favorite. Right after wathing I got the soundtrack.

[@michaelnewell3823]

I grew up in this age group and thus movie deeply touched me because this was my life in music. It seemed to flood all of my memories. It's too bad we all must grow old one day and our dreams playing music have to fade. The girl in this movie is beautiful and she reminds of being young with my wife and in love. This movie and this particular song bring back all of the memories of having Hopes and Dreams and Love in your life. This kind of music is what I remember. These guys have brought all of this back to life. Great movie. Wish it could go on forever.
